Ofsted Inspection
On Friday 6th November Ofsted published Cronton Sixth Form/Riverside College’s report following their inspection on the 23 and 24th September 2015.
Riverside was the first College in the North West to be inspected under the new Ofsted inspection framework which now makes judgements on whether the provider ‘continues to be good’ and if ‘safeguarding is effective’. Riverside College were judged to have met these requirements and was praised for some outstanding practice seen during the inspection.
Extracts from the report’s findings include the following:
- “…students achieve grades at or above those expected from their qualifications when they start college”
- “Students’ progression to further study, higher education, apprenticeships or employment is high”
- “Teaching, learning and assessment are consistently good”
- “…students participate well in lessons and develop their knowledge and skills effectively”
- “…provision is responsive to local and regional priorities”
- “…very effective action is taken to safeguard students”
- “Students behave particularly well at college and respect each other and their teachers”
